LOGINMy wealthy wife, Celia Quayle, controlled the household. I bought a three-dollar bottle of water, and she scolded me for wasting money. But she bought her bodyguard, Mason Johnston, a house, saying she got a deal on it and that he deserved better. I confronted her about it. She said buying the bodyguard a house was to keep him motivated, and that she was saving money for our wedding. However, while I was working a part-time job with my younger brother, Cyrus, we saw her booking the Century Hotel for a wedding ceremony with Mason. She even broadcast the entire event live. Cyrus was furious and went to confront her, but Mason’s men rammed him with a car. It was a BMW. The accident left Cyrus with massive medical bills. I called Celia and begged her to return my bank card so I could pay for his treatment. She replied coldly, “I can’t believe you’d use your own brother as an excuse to cause a scene. Look, I’ll explain everything after the wedding.” I desperately rushed to the venue. But before I could enter the hotel, I learned that Cyrus had passed away. When Celia saw me arrive, she hurriedly pulled me aside and explained, “This wedding is just a business arrangement. Don’t overthink it. Once everything settles down, I promise I’ll give you a proper wedding.” Little did she know that the moment I received news of Cyrus’ death, I no longer wanted her as my wife.
View MoreCelia hesitated, as if she wanted to say something more. In the end, she simply placed a document in front of me. “Mason explained that he did not mean for any of this to happen. I’ve helped you draft a letter of leniency for the judge. Could you sign it so he can receive a lighter sentence? Don’t worry, I know you’ve been wronged. Just name your terms.”So, she came for Mason after all.That was very generous of her.She had withheld my money and used it to buy Mason a car. In the end, Cyrus died under that very car I had saved so hard to afford.How utterly ironic.Celia thought I was considering it, so she quickly pulled out a pen.I coldly slapped her pen away.“I’m not going to sign that, Celia. I want a divorce.”“What? You want to divorce me? Why?”Celia did not bother with the pen that had fallen in the car. She turned and stared at me in shock. “You’re just saying that out of anger, right?“Ethan, I know Cyrus is gone, and you’re heartbroken. He was such a swee
“Celia, I don’t care if other people doubt me. But you can’t.“I’ve never asked you for anything. Please, help me...”Celia was moved, but she still shook her head. “The police already have all the evidence. There’s nothing more I can do for you.”Mason deeply regretted his action.If he had known this would happen, he should never have provoked me in the first place.What he did not know was that every deed left a footprint. My report to the police only accelerated the investigation.Even without the evidence I provided, the police would have found Mason eventually.He had committed a crime, and there was no escaping the law.Mason rolled up his sleeve and revealed the scar on his arm. “Celia, can you help me one last time, for the sake of the fact that I once saved you?“Just this once. After that, you won’t owe me a thing.”Celia stared at the scar, and she lowered her gaze for a moment. “What do you want me to do?”A flash of joy crossed Mason’s face.“I can’t get out
At the time of Cyrus’ death, the building across the street was broadcasting live about her wedding to Mason.It made her realize that Cyrus had been in an accident on the very day of her wedding.That brought back the memory of my phone call begging for surgery money.At that time, she had instinctively assumed I was just causing trouble.After all, she not only did not inform me about her wedding to Mason in advance, but had also broadcast it live across the city.If I saw it, I would have definitely objected and tried to stop it.So, she thought that I had not really been calling about the money. I just wanted her to come running to me so I could stop the wedding.Cyrus was the only family I had left. She never could have believed I would jinx my own brother just to spoil her ceremony.Back then, she had even felt somewhat disappointed in me. She thought I had lost myself and was not the same boy she once knew.In the end, she finally realized she had misjudged me completel
She had originally wanted to text me about it. But when she saw the single gray check mark, she had no choice but to ask around.“I’ve been so swamped with work lately that I completely lost track of Cyrus. Do you know what grade Cyrus is? Is he in junior year?”She sighed as she realized she had neglected me for too long.Recalling the good times we once shared, she felt a twinge of regret. She ordered an expensive gift and planned to apologize to me when we met. In her mind, I loved her so much. I would surely forgive her, and we would get back together.She had no choice but to approach a random student to ask about Cyrus.Several students recognized the name when she said Cyrus.He had attended both middle school and high school at that school. Soon, a former classmate recognized Celia.“Are you Cyrus’ sister-in-law?”Celia was overjoyed. As long as someone recognized her, that was good. She quickly responded, “Yes, I am. Can you tell me which class Cyrus is in now? I n
